You folks have really stuck with me on this -- thanks so much -- never
expected such extensive help but I really appreciate it.

Here are the results on running SuperPI:

As you see, the TMPIN1 is the cpu, and it seems to be ok.

Glen, I tried > look in your BIOS setup at the Hardware Monitoring
there...it should show the temps with labels as to which is the CPU.<
but I didn't see any labels -- I looked under Hardware/Bios -- it appears
there is only one on which the info is given.

Also, here are 3 photos of the MOBO:

No, I didn't mean look in SIW under the Hardware\BIOS entry. I menat
restart your computer and press the required key to enter your BIOS
setup screens, and look for the Hardware Monitoring screen there to see
what CPU temp is reported.

Usually you will press the DEL key early in the boot sequence, often
while a big logo is on the screen before Windows starts loading, to
enter BIOS setup. Some OEM systems like Dell use the DEL key, others
use F1 or F2, or F10

Ok, Everest identifies the cpu as the one at TEMPN1 and currently at 53
C� -- the MOBO is at 42 C� and the Aux is at 82�. However, the Aux could be
a bogus read or one that is not relevant. The cpu fan is at 5625 rpm and
the ps is at 2446 rpm.

Additional research indicates that the capacitors on the MOBO may be going
on the fritz per the way they look in the photos in the above post.

Are you still considering temperature. If this was the first boot of
the day, it can't be temperature.


BTW, my computer had been running hot and I'd found it will cool off,
not completely but a lot, in 15 seconds if it is off and in not much
more time than than in Standby.
